Every blow in life pierces the heart and awakens our feelings to sympathize with others; and every swing of comfort lulls us to sleep, and we become unaware of all. Bowl of Saki, July 20, by Hazrat Inayat Khan Commentary by Pir-o-Murshid Inayat Khan: 'If the soul is awakened, how does it awake, and who awakens it?'

True Happiness

The soul's true happiness lies in experiencing the inner joy, and it will never be fully satisfied with outer, seeming pleasures.

The heart of Man

The heart of every man, both good and bad, is the abode of God, and care should be taken never to wound anyone by word or act. Bowl of Saki, July 16, by Hazrat Inayat Khan Commentary by Pir-o-Murshid Inayat Khan: In order to awaken love and sympathy in our hearts, sacrifices must be made.
